yes, it's that time again...the 2006 nutty awards

nutty’s 2006 best, most, and worst-of-year awards:

most improved dj: tancred dickens (2005 winner. he means business!)

best record collection: tiernan (2005, 2004, 2003, 2002… winner)

most annoying neighbour: tancred dickens’ neighbour.

most promising natural product: a blazing red-hot chili pepper

best sporting event attended
: ama superbike race alton, va

best individual sporting performance
: floyd llandis

worst sporting coverage: nbc’s coverage of the winter olympics from turin, italy

best sporting audio heard: radio 5 alive coverage of england vs. france rugby game. referee turns to the england captain and says “i can’t be held responsible for the lack of skill in your team”

most ridiculous indicator: the terrorist threat advisory (again)

worst person to hand a gun to: dick cheney

most worrying world leader: ...too easy

most annoying tv ads: all pick up truck commercials

most annoying tv ad feature: a dead heat between the token black dude in food and car commercials, and the always-present fake sunshine, lighting up every smiling face, wherever they are, in every room, mysteriously at any angle, at any time. (that is some clever sunlight. i call it 'kennedy sunshine').

most absurd tv ad: cialis commercials (36 hours...)

best tv ad: lebron james nike pool commercial

best computer team: team nutty (of course)

best dinner party hosts: equal tie between kenny & milena, and redha & andrea

most discussed topic of party conversation: beesh’s ‘ain…

HAPPY NEW YEAR! ;)
